Within days of kicking off the drive to recall Governor Walker in Wisconsin, campaigners have collected more than 300,000 signatures. The recall drive will likely be able to collect significantly more signatures—200,000 to 300,000— than the minimum 540,208 needed for an election. The Nation’s John Nichols sat down with Mike Gousha on Up Front and talked about how this can affect the political climate in the state and the psychological impact on potential Democratic candidates.
